In March 2022, DVRPC was named the Economic Development District for Greater Philadelphia. To streamline participation and outreach, the Regional Community and Economic Development Forum (RCEDF) was merged into the Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) Committee and members now participate in the development and implementation of Growing Greater Philadelphia, the U.S. EDA approved CEDS for Greater Philadelphia.
If you are interested in participating on the CEDS Committee, please email gpedd@dvrpc.org. For more information about other DVRPC engagement opportunities, visit DVRPC Committees.
